Chapter 173 Mission Completed

At 8:37, the crab roe stew made by Qin Huai was sold out.

As usual, Qin Huai made two crab roe shaomai per person according to the number of heads. It's not that Qin Huai is stingy and doesn't want to worry about trouble, it's mainly because Qin Huai discovered that the combination of crab roe shaomai and crepe wontons is actually a good breakfast set.

Two crab roe siomai paired with a bowl of crepe wontons, plus a tea egg or a cup of soy milk, a perfect breakfast.

Eat and feel energetic for a day.

Yes, Qin Huai also cooked soy milk.

He asked Gong Liang to buy tea eggs from the breakfast shop at the entrance of the community. As a tea egg lover, Qin Huai felt that a breakfast of this level would be soulless without a tea egg.

After working at Huang Ji for more than half a month, Master Xiao Qin finally regained the feeling of being a breakfast shop chef.

Everyone who had eaten the breakfast he cooked said it was good.

In the following days, Qin Huai has been practicing crab roe Shaomai unremarkably.

Making one batch in the morning and several batches in the afternoon, the chef at Huang Kee's kitchen lived a life full of crab roe and wheat straw.

Even a little tired of eating.

Dong Shi knew that saying this would make him seem a little ungrateful. After all, Qin Huai's craftsmanship was not bad, and the crab roe siu mai was free of charge as employee benefits. No matter which company this kind of benefits is placed in, employees will laugh out of their dreams.

But eating every day, one meal in the morning and one meal in the afternoon, every day, and only skipping a day when I am on vacation, is indeed a bit boring.

Dong Shi didn't know if the other chefs in Huang Ji's kitchen had the same idea as him, but he knew that there was one person who would never tire of it.

Gong Liang.

Gong Liang really loves crab roe siomai.

Eat every day, rain or shine, squatting at the door of the kitchen to eat in the morning and eating at the door of the kitchen in the afternoon.

Gong Liang even got tired of the crepe wontons and crab roe shaomai.

Sometimes Gong Liang comes to Huang Ji's kitchen door in the morning and brings his own breakfast.

White porridge, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, Yangchun noodles, egg-filled pancakes, pancakes and fruit, pan-fried buns, steamed dumplings from Shaxian County, corn cooked by his wife, mixed noodles, mutton soup...

I almost didn't bring another chef.

But no matter what kind of breakfast Gong Liang brought, he would always eat crab roe shaomai.

Eat with it.

In the afternoon, Gong Liang sometimes eats them together.

Pair it with some fruits, some side dishes, sometimes some tea, change the big chair into a small bench and move it into the kitchen, sit on the small table where Huang Shengli drinks tea, and chat with Huang Shengli while eating, and talk about his old neighbors. gossip.

Let’s hold the tea party directly in Huang Ji’s kitchen.

Huang Shengli also enjoys it. Now the teaching task of crab roe shaomai basically has nothing to do with him. Of course, Huang Shengli also felt that he had nothing to do with Zheng Da.

Qin Huai now doesn't need to learn much about making crab roe shaomai, he mainly relies on practice. Practice repeatedly, practice over and over again, practice over time, and increase the amount, it is best to develop muscle memory.

If Zheng Da could say something, he could also give some guidance while watching from the side, but Zheng Da had a stupid mouth again. He understood the question very accurately, and said the question was very abstract. If Qin Huai hadn't been able to match his abstract brain waves and understand what he said, at first glance, outsiders would have thought that the conversation between the two was just like a duck.

To put it simply, students no longer need guidance from teachers.

In this case, Zheng Da's old habit of not liking coming to the kitchen happened again.

At first, it was three days to catch fish, then two days to catch fish, and now it has been changed to one day off. Huang Shengli didn't know what to say about him.

It is impossible to say that Zheng Da does not want to accept Qin Huai as a closed disciple. Anyone with eyes can see how much Zheng Da wants to teach him.

You can tell him that he wants to take a break now.

I haven't taken a disciple yet, so I'll take a break. If I really take it in, I won't even dare to think about how many successes I'll have.

But Huang Shengli also knew that Zheng Da had not been a serious chef for many years. This isn't his job, and there's no use trapping him in the kitchen. Now that Qin Huai is practicing crab roe shaomai, he doesn't necessarily have to have Zheng Da watch from the side. It's enough to have him watching and helping.

And Huang Shengli was a little tired of it.

It's just that Zheng Da is not here, there is no one to chat and argue with him, and it's a bit boring to stay alone in the kitchen. Huang Shengli's waist is recovering very well now, and physical therapy does not need to be done every day, entering the final recovery period.

If nothing else happens, he will be able to return to Huangji after the normal rest period and continue working as the chef.

Now Huang Ji's business doesn't need to be worried by Huang Shengli. The golden signboard of the red case is no longer there, but the golden signboard of the white case is still there. There is no need to worry about the turnover at all, and the reputation is gradually recovering.

Huang Shengli is temporarily recuperating, not permanently retiring. Regular diners are very patient in waiting for the chef to return. It is also acceptable to change the taste and eat more snacks while waiting.

It can be said that Huang Shengli has almost no worries now, except for being a little bored when he accompanied Qin Huai to make crab roe shaomai in the afternoon.

So Huang Shengli ignored Gong Liang's serious transgression of moving the small bench into the back kitchen, acquiesced in all this, and made Gong Liang his chat partner, chatting while drinking afternoon tea and eating crab roe shaomai.

Who told Gong Liang to chat?

As long as Gong Liang thinks about it, even if he has just met someone for two hours, he can find a topic they like and talk about it for an entire afternoon.

Before he knew it, Qin Huai had been practicing crab roe siomai for a whole month.

Now Qin Huai is as professional as a professional who has been engaged in the aquaculture industry for 20 years when choosing crabs and shrimps. No crab vendor can secretly hand him inferior crabs in front of his eyes.

As for peeling crabs and processing crab meat, there is nothing to say. With that technique and that speed, Qin Huai would be believed when he went out to deceive others, saying that he was a master who specialized in peeling crabs at a shop selling celebrity crab roe noodles.

With such high-intensity practice, the taste and quality of crab roe siomai are naturally improved.

If nothing else, Qin Huai thinks that the crab roe shaomai he is making now should be between C+ and B-. There is a higher probability of C+ grade. If you think of B grade, you have to perform exceptionally well, be in particularly good condition that day or be very smooth when mixing stuffing.

Here in Qinhuai, a dim sum can reach the B-level level, even if it is B-level, it is a signature dim sum.

There is absolutely no shame in taking it out.

Of course, Qin Huai knows that there is still room for improvement in crab roe shaomai.

Based on his current skill panel, Crab Roe Shaomai can definitely reach B+ level. He also needs to master the crab roe shaomai to level B+, because this dim sum is so professional and suitable for the proficiency in adjusting the filling.

Yes, brush proficiency.

In a whole month, Qin Huai's stuffing mixing proficiency reached 39877/100000.

I gained 3.2w of proficiency in a month. This speed is no longer like flying on a plane, it's like riding on a rocket. Qin Huai didn't usually look at the attribute panel, and he didn't even click on the game panel when no side tasks were triggered.

In addition, I have been practicing crab roe siomai at high intensity during this month. I wake up with crab roe siomai every day, and I also practice crab roe siomai before going to bed. Although he was no longer a part-time worker, the fishy smell of shrimps and crabs still lingered on his body. The skin of the crab man never took off, and he never thought of caring about his proficiency.

Qin Huai simply felt that the stuffing preparation had indeed improved a lot.

This is how you practice difficult snacks. If you specialize in one aspect, you will make rapid progress.

The experience value added by solving math problems of addition and subtraction within 20 digits is definitely different from solving linear algebra problems.

Of course, the premise is that the player must have the ability to master linear algebra.

Qin Huai felt like he had gained a lot of proficiency, but he didn't expect to gain so much.

He found that after he had gained a total of 32,000 stuffing-making proficiency points in a month, Qin Huai even regretted that his intensity in this month was not strong enough. If I want to increase my intensity, I can practice more after I go back in the evening, add crab roe shaomai to the menu and do it in the morning, practice hard for two months, and practice until the crabs are out of the market, no matter the cost.

Maybe the stuffing proficiency can really be improved to the master level.

Of course this is only ideal.

The reality is that Qin Huai can't do it.

The current intensity is all because Crab is about to be taken off the market, and it will be too late if you don’t buy it. Qin Huai had a sense of urgency, so he took the time to practice.

On normal days, he would be considered diligent if he could earn 16,000 yuan a month.

December 16th is the day when Qinhuai’s proficiency in cooking crab roe and siu mai reaches 30 days.

It’s also a full moon.

In the afternoon, Qin Huai was working diligently in the back kitchen making crab roe siomai as usual.

Huang Shengli and Gong Liang were sitting at the small table drinking tea. The rest of the employees did not like to hide around quietly and watch Qin Huai cooking as they did before. Now everyone is used to it.

Everyone discovered that the talented chef Xiao Qin, who likes to learn some things from the East and some from the West, also followed Zheng Siyuan's old path and began to specialize in the same dim sum, leading a boring and mechanical repetitive life.

In fact, this is the life of a chef. Whether you are learning new dishes or old dishes, it is an infinitely repetitive process. The process of cooking is full of changes, but the overall work remains the same.

This is also the reason why Dong Shi is very popular in the kitchen. It is really rare for a chef like him to talk a lot, love to talk, talk, and update the latest gossip in real time without affecting the normal work of his colleagues.

Of course, it is not completely unaffected. Sometimes his gossip is so exciting that colleagues will be fascinated by it and then take advantage of it. There was obviously no exciting gossip today. Dong Shi was not even in the kitchen and went out to inquire about the gossip during the break.

The kitchen is filled with the rich aroma of crab roe and siu mai.

This aroma means that the first big crab roe siomai is about to be cooked this afternoon.

After staying in Huang Ji's kitchen for a long time, even a layman like Gong Liang can smell the state of the food through its aroma.

Huang Shengli was playing on his mobile phone while drinking tea. He glanced at Gong Liang, who was playing Xiaoxiaole, and found that Gong Liang had 80 more levels than him. He put down his mobile phone and said, "I found out that you really like eating crab roe siomai. You won’t get tired of it.”

Gong Liang continued to pass the customs, raised his head and then lowered it, saying: "How can you get tired of eating crab roe shaomai?"

Huang Shengli looked at Gong Liang.

Gong Liang failed to pass the level and put down his mobile phone: "Well, it seems that I am the only one who is not tired of it. I feel that you have already been tired of it."

"But crab roe shaomai is different from other dim sum. It's not easy to get tired of it." Gong Liang said stubbornly, "Don't say a month, let me eat it for two months, three months, from September to I won’t get tired of eating it until December.”

"When I think that crabs will be out of the market soon, the crab roe shaomai I have eaten in the past few days does not taste as good as before. The most plump season of crabs has passed, and there will be no fresh crab roe to eat soon. I can't wait to go back to September. Go to Shanshi to find Xiao Qin and ask him to start learning in advance, so that I can eat for at least two months this year! "

Huang Shengli:…

You haven't thought about Qin Huai's life or death at all. Have you ever considered what it would be like for a chef to cook crab roe siomai with such difficulty for three consecutive months a year?

Huang Shengli glanced at Qin Huai.

Forget it, Qin Huai is different.

Qin Huai really loves to do it and enjoys it. Looking at his posture, he can't wait for the crab to be plump for another two months and then do it for two more months.

Just as he was talking, the crab roe siomai came out of the pot.

Qin Huai opened the steamer lid, quickly took out the crab roe shaomai inside, and took a plate. Qin Huai frowned and looked at it for a while, then sighed deeply, and ate one by himself after the crab roe shaomai had cooled down a little.

frown.

Gong Liang could tell that the crab roe shaomai in the past two days was not as good as before, and Qin Huai could certainly tell that too.

Qin Huai also knew that this was not a problem with his own skills, but entirely a problem with the crab.

Crabs are almost out of stock.

The crabs at this time are far less plump than in November, the crab roe is not as good, and the meat quality is not as good. Crab Roe Shaomai not only tests the chef's skills, but also the quality of the ingredients. Otherwise, Huang Shengli would not have let Qin Huai practice picking crabs first.

There is no need to choose crabs now, and no matter how hard you choose, you will never be able to choose a good one.

Qin Huai knew that this year's Crab Roe Shaomai Raid was coming to an end, and Gong Liang's side mission would definitely not be completed this year.

Young hero, please come back next year.

Qin Huai was a little disappointed.

It’s not that he was disappointed that Gong Liang couldn’t complete the side mission, but Gong Liang wasn’t in a hurry anyway. Even without Qin Huai's intervention in this life, there is a high probability that he would be able to overcome the disaster successfully.

Qin Huai was disappointed that he couldn't make crab roe shaomai. Where could he find such a professional and relevant dim sum with the skills to prepare the stuffing?

It feels great to brush up on the stuffing proficiency, much better than when brushing up on the heat.

When Qin Huai practiced fire, he knew that he was a rookie. He improved during the practice, but even if he improved, he was just a rookie in progress.

Practicing Tiao stuffing is different. Practicing Tiao stuffing means I know that I am very strong, and the more I practice, the stronger I am.

This feeling is simply not good.

Qin Huai walked up to Huang Shengli and Gong Liang with a small plate containing 4 crab roe shaomai, and placed the plate on the small table.

"Master Huang, Mr. Gong, the quality of crab roe shaomai may not be very good today, it's even worse than yesterday."

Huang Shengli smiled: "This is not your mistake. This year, the crabs were released a little early, and they were not so plump at this time in previous years. The core of crab roe Shaomai is originally crab roe. Without good crab roe, you can't make good crab roe. Mai, you can’t blame the chef.”

Gong Liang was very appreciative of him. He put the Shaomai to his mouth first and then said: "Yes, yes, Master Xiao Qin, your craftsmanship is obvious to all. I have been eating Shaomai for a month, except for this." In the past few days, the food has become more and more delicious, and I can’t stop eating it. I just can’t stop eating it.”

"It's a pity that I don't major in breeding. Otherwise, I would definitely study whether I can raise a kind of crab that has full crab roe all year round."

After saying that, Gong Liang bit off half of it in one bite, proving his love for food with his practical actions.

Crab Roe Shaomai True Love Noodles.

"We were talking just now. Gong Liang said that this year is not a good time. If he had known you in September, he would have been pestering you to make him crab roe shaomai for at least two months." Huang Shengli said helplessly.

Qin Huai smiled and said: "That's definitely no problem. This year I don't have enough time. Next year I will make crab roe shaomai for at least two months for Mr. Gong, and eat it from mid-September to mid-November."

Gong Liang's eyes were shining.

Huang Shengli waved his hand quickly: "Xiao Qin, please don't say that. Whatever you say about Gong Liang must be taken seriously."

"I'm serious too," Qin Huai said, "Master Huang, I think crab roe siomai is really suitable for practice. I also feel that I haven't done enough this year."

Huang Shengli:…

Okay, I really don’t understand you white chefs.

Gong Liang swallowed the shaomai in his mouth, showed a smile that could be called honest, and said cheerfully: "Then I will be really lucky next year. From now on, I won't say that I eat crab roe shaomai for a month. From now on, I will just eat it continuously. Two months, even three months of crab roe shaomai!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the game prompt sounded in Qin Huai's mind.

"Ding, congratulations to the player for completing the side mission [The Taste of Memory 3] and receiving the mission reward: [A Memory of Gong Liang] and Popularity Drainage +2000."

Qin Huai:?

Finished?

This mission was completed inexplicably?

Is Master Jing's craftsmanship so bad? No, today's crab roe siomai is definitely not B grade.

Seeing Gong Liang's smiling face, Qin Huai suddenly made a bold guess.

"Mr. Gong, I have a question for you."

"Do you still remember what Master Jing's crab roe siomai tasted like back then?"

Gong Liang smacked his mouth, as if he was reminiscing, and then shook his head: "I don't remember, it's been so many years, I've forgotten it a long time ago."

Huang Shengli:? !

"Anyway, Master Jing's craftsmanship is certainly nothing to say, but Master Xiao Qin, your craftsmanship is not bad either. I believe you can reach Master Jing's level one day."

Huang Shengli said angrily: "You don't even remember the taste of the snacks made by my master, and you still have the nerve to say in front of me and Zheng Da every day that our skills are far inferior to my master."

"Old Huang, you can't say that. Sometimes I am aggressive, and sometimes I tell the truth. After so many years, you can't always let me remember the taste of your master's cooking. Speaking of which, this is not Because you and Zheng Da are not good at cooking, if you two cook similar dishes to Master Jing, I won’t remember it.”

"If you ask me that now, I will definitely not be able to remember or tell you. But if I could go back and taste the dishes cooked by a well chef, it would definitely be different."

Huang Shengli knew this was true, but he didn't want to gossip with Gong Liang anymore this afternoon.

Qin Huai showed a look of understanding.

Sure enough, although this side task reminded Gong Liang of the smell in his memory, in fact Gong Liang himself really didn't remember what the smell in his memory was.

If you can’t remember the taste, you can just remember the feeling back then.

Back then, Gong Liang ate crab roe siomai for a month and it was unforgettable in his life. Now Gong Liang also eats crab roe siomai for a month.

Although the taste is far inferior to that of the past, and can only be considered as equal, it is enough to remind Gong Liang of the wonderful feeling back then.

Sometimes food doesn’t need a favorability filter to beautify it, and so can good memories.

"Master Huang, I want to take leave from the day after tomorrow, and take all the leave I didn't take this month and last month. I'll take six days in a row and go back to Shan City to make snacks for my sister for a few days. Do you think you can arrange the time?" Qin Huai ask.

"Of course it's no problem. I'll tell Huang Jia tonight and it won't affect me." Huang Shengli nodded readily, "It's really hard for you not to have any rest for more than a month. How about you take a full week off and adjust yourself? ”

"No, 6 days is enough."

Gong Liang silently ate crab roe shaomai beside him without saying anything.

He has moved next door to Qinhuai, where he gets the moon first, and he eats crab roe and shaomai for a month, which is enough. He can do it without eating for 6 days.

The most important thing is that during this time, he became a fan of many restaurants from other places while watching "Zhiwei".

It happened that during Qin Huai's six days of rest, he took his wife and children out to eat a few different meals for a change.

Bliss.
